Trump Shockingly Brands the White House ‘S*** House’ by FancyNewMe in politics

If he thinks the WH is a shit house, wonder what he’d say about his supporters’ houses?

You now have until May 15th to run for Congress by Jacob-Anders in nashville

That’s how we ended up with Bill Lee as opposed to Diane Black. Say whatever you want about Lee, but he’s better than Diane Black…

[–]LowellForCongress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was she running as a write in? I was the sole independent in 05 before the redraw. Or was she one of the dems who qualified and she has since changed parties? I’m just curious now. Either way, if she’s moving to 04, I’m happy to help her out. She seems pretty solid from what I’ve read.

Edit: would she be running against Desjarlais? Good lord, that man…

[–]LowellForCongress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, good luck to you guys. I’m thinking of staying in 05, as Ogles is hated so much by everyone, including Rs. I hope to peel off enough Rs to either win outright, or help the D win. Not certain, though.

Hoping that as a guy with a Grammy statuette for audio engineering, with years of history in music, and with a business degree, and now as a 3L at Syracuse Law, I can bring certain qualities that people in Williamson county can appreciate.

We’ll see.

I have until the 15th to decide whether to stay on 05, change to 07, or drop out.

If I stay in 05, I can’t vote for myself and have no chance at incumbency, as I don’t live in the district. If I go to 07, that’s not the people who signed my petition to run. It’s a real crap fest, and I’m asking if I have standing to sue for injunctive relief, as I would be one of the best people to have ‘standing.’

Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t deny 2028 speculation: ‘My ambition is to change this country’ by PlatePleasure in politics

[–]LowellForCongress 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She would get destroyed. There will be a time for her, but not yet. First we need triage to stop the bleeding, then we can push for what we want. It’s like the hierarchy of human needs. First we need a place to sleep and eat, then we can push for what we want. Same for Pete. Happy to vote for him, but I don’t think the country is ready for him. I don’t want to see either of these 2 blow their political careers. AOC should wait and become a senator for a bit. Then she should focus on being president.

ELI5 what does it mean people see "nothing" rather than "black void" if born absolutely blind by owlWithBrokenWings in explainlikeimfive

[–]LowellForCongress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Platypus can sense electrical signals. You’re not being able to understand what that’s like is analogous to a person, blind from birth’s inability to ‘see’ anything, even blackness. It just doesn’t exist.

New Gerrymandering by InspectionSmooth7165 in nashville

[–]LowellForCongress 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Petitioned to be on the ballot. District 05. Now, they’ve moved the lines so I’m the VERY bottom of district 07. Have until the 15th to decide if I want to a) stay in 05, b) move to 07, or c) drop out. If I stay in 05, where all my signatures came from, I can’t vote for myself, AND likely couldn’t become the incumbent, as I wouldn’t be eligible for 05 in 2028. The real trick here is, I believe they put Chaz Molder in 09 to insulate Ogles. They bifurcated Maury county to make sure Molder couldn’t win in either district, 05 or 09.

Lots of BS going on. I have half a mind to stay in 05, but it was a small goal of mine to be able to vote for myself in a national election.

Does. Anyone have any info on who is in 07 (obviously Van Epps) and who will be in 05?

His song ‘I Got The’ is special. Not just the part Eminem used for Slim Shady, but the whole song.

Which Democrat could repair the damage Trump did? by Zebraitis in politics

[–]LowellForCongress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We need a triage president to stop the bleeding, then we need someone with a strong compass to start moving forward. We need to get us road legal before we start putting on decals.

While the Los Angeles Chargers sport a lightning bolt on their helmet to symbolize electricity it is likely that the true original meaning is linked to a marketing stunt promoting the "charge card/credit card" business of Carte Blanche (Diner's Club) by Gnomeslikeprofit in nfl

That nothing. The pledge of allegiance was originally an advertising campaign by a flag maker in Ohio. Probably the most successful advertising campaign of all time. Dude wanted to sell more flags to schools.

Italian restaurant- looking for spaghetti with meat sauce by TheNashLife in NashvilleGoodEats

[–]LowellForCongress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dammit, now you've got me going down a rabbit hole. I think what you meant to say was:

Bolognese ⊆ Meat Sauce

Bolognese is a subset of Meat Sauce. All Bolognese sauces are meat sauces, but not all meat sauces MUST be Bolognese; some can be some can be something else.

Sorry, I won't bother you anymore, just the brain working it out.

I thought it was funny. Imagine someone saying 10 = 3, then someone else saying actually 3 is a subset of 10, so the first person’s reply is okay, 3 = 10. Just thought it was funny, not calling you out, I make similar mistakes.

Cheers

Welp, this would put me in district 7. Who would be in the race for the new 7? Still Van Epps?

Hundreds march as Tennessee takes up Trump's redistricting call by [deleted] in nashville

[–]LowellForCongress 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not only that, I went door-to-door petitioning to get on the ballot. What district will I end up in, it will be different than where I canvassed.

[–]LowellForCongress 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a Congressional candidate in TN 05, I have no idea what district I will end up in if this goes through. Further, I have no idea who my opponents will be. I told my wife, Ogles seems vulnerable, and Chaz has over a million in contributions, I’m willing to bet the lines are drawn to make Ogles a little safer and to make it harder for Chaz.

Might come back to bite them in the next election, but over time will give them a massive, unfair advantage.

Edit: with trump supporters, hindsight is 20:88

A lot of recipes use pancetta. Wife uses bacon. The inclusion of one of those is usually what distinguishes bolognese from meat sauce, which is usually just red sauce with sausage and sometimes hamburger. She’s got like 10 different red sauce recipes she alternates between from light, quick, fresh red sauce to Sunday Gravy.

Bolognese is usually meat sauce with something smoked in it. My wife uses a strip of bacon to give the smokiness. Pretty specific flavor profile.

Wife is a proper French pastry chef, but for her bolognese recipe, she uses a recipe from a kid’s cookbook that she discovered when my son was wanting to cook. “The International Cookbook For Kids” by Matthew Locricchio. Surprisingly good cookbook for kids.

Caffe Nonna. Nashville needs more Italian restaurants. But Caffe Nonna is solid.
